Glen: This appears to be the same video that you did a few years ago. This video has a bunch of confusing and just wrong information. Again, you call the cast control knob (the knob that is on the same side as the reel handle) the centrifugal brake - it is NOT the centrifugal brake. Centrifugal and magnetic brakes on bait casting reels are located on the side of the reel opposite the reel handle. These brakes are typically adjusted from this side as well. As you should know, the cast control knob can be used by a beginning bait cast reel user to adjust the rate of drop of a bait before you cast that bait. You kind of started to explain how to do check the rate of drop, but then did not finish how to properly adjust this knob to help prevent backlashes Please redo the video with the reel parts identified correctly.

I am not sure I would believe many "guys working the fishing department" when it comes to knowing information like being discussed in this thread. At least in my experience, many of these guys don't even know what they have on the shelves in their department. I have asked about certain items, only to be told they "don't handle that item" or they "are out of stock on that item". Then walk half way down an isle and there is exactly what I was asking about. Most of those guys will NEVER say they do not know anything about the item(s) you are referring to. ClearCreek

Right now (3:00 pm MDT) at my house it is 38 degrees F and it is raining. We are under a winter storm watch as the rain is supposed to turn to snow about midnight with maybe 3-6 inches of snow predicted. I think summer is over. ClearCreek

Green plants do both, produce oxygen and use oxygen. When the sun is shining (day time) green plants produce oxygen via photosynthesis. During the night (no light) plants use oxygen via respiration. There should be a lot of info on the internet that goes into some detail on how all this works. ClearCreek

Keeper has some great advice. Don't go into an interview and say they should hire you because like to fish, there are only about a million other people that have that also have that same qualification. ClearCreek

From a popular fishing reel repair outfit: Shimano has suspended MAP pricing on the Stradic Ci4+ reels. There will be no generation 3 on this reel, it will likely be discontinued. ClearCreek

Good point. I was trying to figure out that comment as well. ClearCreek

It appears a lot of you anglers would have a tough time fishing in some of the western states where regulations require the killing of certain species if they are caught. A regulation on one lake in northwest Wyoming stipulates that all walleye caught must be kept and killed; there is no daily bag limit. There are areas in Alaska where all northern pike caught must be killed, you don't have to keep them, you just have to kill them before you put them back in the water. ClearCreek

Just wondering if you are paying your excise taxes to the IRS as is required by Federal Law of all fishing tackle manufacturers? Don't ask me how I know about this.

There are a few states, like Wisconsin and Minnesota, that have closed fishing seasons after the ice fishing period. For the most part, these closed seasons are still in place because of social demands (it is a tradition, we have always had a closed season; therefore we can have an "opener") rather than biological implications.

Interesting how some criticize when a person changes the products they represent. Those criticizing would most likely pizz down their leg if a company contacted them to sponsor/represent their product!! ClearCreek

Actually it sounds more like an application letter than a resume. ClearCreek

There are many species of trout in North America. Brook, brown, lake trout, rainbow, bull trout, Dolly Varden, cutthroat (there are numerous species and subspecies) and if you include salmon, Atlantic salmon plus the are five species of Pacific salmon (king, chum, sockeye, pink and coho), grayling, whitefish. etc. The brown trout is the only one not native to North America. If you want to read more about trout go to the library and get the book, "Trout and Salmon of North America" by Robert Behnke. ClearCreek

If you are going to get in the fishing tackle manufacturing business you will need to contact the IRS and obtain a Form 720 so you can pay your Sportfish Restoration Excise taxes. ClearCreek

Marine Biology would not do you any good if you were hoping to be freshwater bass fisherman. Try some Fish Management, Ichthyology, and Limnology courses while in college if you are interested in freshwater angling. ClearCreek

Interesting topic. I think most fishing lures are designed to catch fishermen, not fish. And, they work great!!! ClearCreek

Remember that if you are in the fishing tackle manufacturing and selling business you will also be responsible for Federal excise taxes. Google "federal excise taxes on fishing equipment" for an explanation. ClearCreek

Pure Fishing is the parent company that owns 11 different tackle companies. Their companies market reels that vary from lower end reels to the highest end reels made, and everything in between. ClearCreek
